Something to think about for next season's playoffs
Quote from Chris on August 19, 2025, 4:18 pmAlex has changed my mind on the cash part. Sure, one could make the argument that hockey league is cash poor and really lacking in liquidity. But at the same time, it gives those who have saved their cash an advantage and gives teams in the bottom half an extra chance to improve.
So I think I'm on board with we just vote on whether or not to end the season earlier on Sun Apr 5 and that's it.
But before we vote, does anyone still feel strongly that teams should have a chance to pick up extra cash to compensate for losing the 1 week match up?

If we really wanted to cut out a week early, just cut the playoffs and give the title to our President's Trophy equivalent.
Hard no.

Quote from Chris on August 21, 2025, 3:24 pmNow that our season is officially ending earlier on Sun Apr 5, does anyone want to vote on whether or not there's an opportunity for teams to get extra cash to make up for the fact that we're losing 1 weekly matchup? Like one week at the end of the season, the cash is double? Or each team gets an extra $3 in end of season money?
I recently said that I've changed my mind on this but was wondering if there were at least a few teams that wanted to put this to a vote?
